Hey everyone, I’m considering adding a full educational series on peptides to the community, and before I start building it, I want to hear from you. Peptides have become incredibly popular, but there is also a lot of hype, confusion, and questionable information surrounding them. Some have meaningful human research behind them, while others are supported primarily by animal studies or early mechanistic evidence. My goal would be to break them down the same way we approach everything else here: biology first, evidence first, ideology last. We could explore peptides such as BPC-157, KPV, GHK-Cu, TB-500/Thymosin Beta-4, PT-141, GLP-1 related peptides, and others, looking at what they do, the pathways they influence, the quality of the human evidence, potential risks, and areas such as cardiovascular health, metabolism, recovery, body composition, sexual health, and longevity. This would be an educational series, not simply “here's a peptide, take this.” I want you to understand the biology well enough to separate promising science from marketing. Would this be something you'd like me to add to the community? And which peptide or area would you want me to cover first? Drop your thoughts below. 👇 Eat Based On Your Biology, Not Ideology™

Hi everyone, A quick reminder that I’m away this week and will be back next week for our Tuesday class. In the meantime, please keep your questions and messages coming in. Feel free to post anything you want me to review, look into, or discuss. I will go through everything when I’m back and respond in detail so I can give each question the attention it deserves. Thank you for your patience, and I’m looking forward to catching up with everyone next week. Maurice

Slight emergency had to leave last night.. should be back shortly will touch base with everyone.

@Maurice Daher Attached is my blood work results spreadsheet. I'm not sure where to start as several markers are up, then down. In March 2026, I consulted with you after my liver panel numbers flew off the chart. My body was also feeling differently for the past couple of months. We determined that my intake of fat grams was much too high and that I needed to cut back on fat. I also introduced walking (or other stress movements) for 10 - 20 minutes after each meal. Four weeks later, my liver numbers had returned to more acceptable levels. In early April, my APO B and cholesterol jumped significantly. I consulted with you again as I was concerned about this significant shift. I thought that these markers would go down since I was reducing fat in my diet. I didn't realize that the body still needs to adapt to ratio changes that I made, i.e., higher fat grams to protein ratio ➡️ higher protein to fat grams ratio. Sure enough, after 60 days of maintaining my higher protein to fat grams ratio, my APO B and cholesterol numbers eased. My liver numbers also seemed to level out (except my AST jumped a bit). It's now been ~140 days since I reduced the amount of daily fat. I continue to consume more total protein grams than total fat grams. I expected my APO B level to drop from that of June. My triglyercides decreased 10 points and my Oxidized LDL went to 29 (both of which I'm happy about). I am concerned though about several other markers and have highlighted them in yellow. My Vit B12 continues to exceed >2000 pg/mL for more than 75 days. My insulin also jumped to 4.1 from 2.1 during this same period and my glucose hit 103 (from 90). I ran more thyroid panel markers when I had my blood work done 2 weeks ago. My Free T3 level still suggests I'm undereating. RE: Free T3 level... I'm eating 2 - 3 meals a day. I eat until I'm stuffed each time. I'm eating primarily organic grass fed ground beef (w/ some lamb and renegrade beef mixed in), organic grass fed yogurt and organic grass fed cheese. I introduced organic grass fed kefir about 2 weeks ago to make egg nog. I was scrambling my organic pasture raised eggs or cooking the eggs as an omelette. I now know the impact of cooking eggs so I started separating the yolk from the white and blending it with kefir. I add a teaspoon of pumpkin spice and vanilla and it's absolutely delicious! This is how I intend to consume my eggs from now on. I cooked the whites and consume them separately. I also make my own L. Reuteri yogurt with organic half and half. I also eat organic chicken sausage a few times a week. This is it though. I know you stress for us not to count calories. What guidance can you provide me on how much food I should consume daily? Should I try to squeeze in a 4th meal? I walk for 15-20 minutes twice a day, then usually do air squats and push-ups for 15 - 20 minutes after dinner. I work out at the gym 4X/week.

@Maurice Daher Hi Maurice I’ve just completed the nitrates vs cirtulline module and am catching up on the live videos so you may have answered this question already, sorry. I’ve found some supplements on IHerb for pomegranate extract but what percentage of punicalagins is needed for the supplement to be beneficial please? Thank you ☺️
